Annual Branding Subscription Shoots in the Cotswolds | 2024 Client Stories
What a year it’s been.
In 2024, I had the absolute pleasure of working with some incredible women through my Branding Subscription package. Each session has been different, but all have been rooted in connection, trust and creating imagery that genuinely reflects who these women are and how they work.
We’ve laughed, shared stories, talked business and life – and, of course, created imagery and films that capture the heart of their brands.
Investing in your brand is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business, but it can also feel daunting. That’s exactly why I created my Annual Branding Subscription: to give you the space, flexibility and support to build your brand story over time, with three shoots spread across the year.
This package has quickly become one of my – and my clients’ – favourites. Working together across multiple sessions allows us to refine and elevate brand imagery gradually, while spreading the investment across 12 months. Most clients also tell me that because we spend more time together, they feel far more at ease in front of the camera. That comfort shows – in relaxed expressions, natural movement, and images that feel authentic rather than forced.
It also means your content can evolve alongside your business, reflecting seasonal shifts, new offers and growing confidence.
Watching that confidence build session by session is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Branding Subscription Client Highlights
Here’s a peek at three wonderful women I’ve had the pleasure of working with through the Subscription package. Each came to me with different goals, but all are using their sessions to build brand stories that feel intentional, aligned and true to them.
Brigitte Althorp-Gormlay | Althorp & Co
When Brigitte launched her bespoke estate agency, Althorp & Co, her vision was clear: to offer an exceptional, highly personal service to clients in and around Cheltenham.
Her Subscription sessions were carefully planned to:
Showcase her deep knowledge of the local area and its independent businesses
Reflect the quiet luxury and attention to detail her clients can expect
Demonstrate the level of service she provides, always going above and beyond
Using beautiful local locations and thoughtful styling, we created imagery and brand films that bring her values to life. The result is a cohesive visual story that builds trust, reinforces her expertise, and positions her as a knowledgeable, approachable presence in the local property market.
Sophia Carter | Stylist and Colour Analysis
Sophia, Stylist and Colour Expert, wanted to take her brand to the next level while deepening her connection with her audience. Over the course of her Subscription, we created a varied collection of imagery and films across multiple settings – each chosen to show a different side of her brand.
One shoot took place in a gorgeous hotel, giving her imagery a polished, elevated feel and reflecting the aspirational experience of working with her. Another focused on the more homely, relatable side of Sophia – showing her in her own space, softer and less “perfect”, and very much achievable for her clients. We also updated imagery in her studio, capturing her fully in her element.
Alongside photography, Sophia embraced film as part of her Subscription, creating lifestyle clips full of warmth, movement and personality for her website and social media.
Together, these sessions tell a rounded brand story: professional yet approachable, aspirational yet grounded – allowing potential clients to see themselves in the experience of working with her.

Gina Thomson | GFIT Life
Gina, a personal trainer and fitness instructor, was ready to professionalise her brand and attract clients who aligned with her supportive, encouraging approach. Having never had professional photos before, investing in branding felt like a big step.
Her first session focused on setting the scene: Gina as a knowledgeable fitness expert in her home gym, alongside 1-to-1 training, outdoor group sessions, and images that captured her warmth and reassuring manner. These visuals help potential clients understand exactly what it feels like to train with her.
The second session built on that foundation, showing Gina instructing two women together in her home gym – promoting the idea of training with a friend and how supportive, motivating and unintimidating that can be. We also captured a more relaxed, off-duty side of Gina, highlighting how movement and exercise can naturally fit into everyday life, like walking the dog with a friend.
Her third and final session is still to come, allowing us to complete her brand story with imagery that continues to evolve as her business grows.
Why the Branding Subscription Works
The magic of this package lies in its flexibility and long-term impact.
With three shoots spread across the year:
Your investment feels manageable, making it easier to commit to showing up visually for your business
Your brand story evolves, rather than feeling rushed or one-dimensional
You become more relaxed in front of the camera, allowing us to capture natural, authentic moments that truly resonate with your audience.
Whether you’re launching a new business, refreshing your online presence or simply want imagery that keeps pace with your growth, the Branding Subscription gives you the time, space and guidance to do it thoughtfully.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As my Subscription clients continue their journeys, it’s become clear just how powerful this way of working can be. The relationships are deeper, the imagery more intentional, and the confidence that builds over time is incredibly rewarding to witness.
I already have clients booked into the Branding Subscription for 2026, and I’ll continue offering this package to women who want visibility without pressure – imagery that feels aligned, calm and genuinely reflective of who they are.
If you’ve been thinking about investing in your brand but aren’t sure where to start, this could be a beautifully supportive place to begin.
